Hypothetical Example of A Bank Balance Sheet and Financial Ratios
An example of fractional-reserve banking, and the calculation of the "reserve ratio" is shown in the balance sheet below:
Example 2: ANZ National Bank Limited Balance Sheet as at 30 September 2007 | |||
---|---|---|---|
ASSETS | NZ$m | LIABILITIES | NZ$m |
Cash | 201 | Demand Deposits | 25482 |
Balance with Central Bank | 2809 | Term Deposits and other borrowings | 35231 |
Other Liquid Assets | 1797 | Due to Other Financial Institutions | 3170 |
Due from other Financial Institutions | 3563 | Derivative financial instruments | 4924 |
Trading Securities | 1887 | Payables and other liabilities | 1351 |
Derivative financial instruments | 4771 | Provisions | 165 |
Available for sale assets | 48 | Bonds and Notes | 14607 |
Net loans and advances | 87878 | Related Party Funding | 2775 |
Shares in controlled entities | 206 | Loan Capital | 2062 |
Current Tax Assets | 112 | Total Liabilities | 99084 |
Other assets | 1045 | Share Capital | 5943 |
Deferred Tax Assets | 11 | Reserves | 83 |
Premises and Equipment | 232 | Retained profits | 2667 |
Goodwill and other intangibles | 3297 | Total Equity | 8703 |
Total Assets | 107787 | Total Liabilities plus Net Worth | 107787 |
In this example the cash reserves held by the bank is NZ$3010m (NZ$201m Cash + NZ$2809m Balance at Central Bank) and the Demand Deposits (liabilities) of the bank are NZ$25482m, for a cash reserve ratio of 11.81%.

“I have passed down the river before sunrise on a summer morning, between fields of lilies still shut in sleep; and when, at length, the flakes of sunlight from over the bank fell on the surface of the water, whole fields of white blossoms seemed to flash open before me, as I floated along, like the unfolding of a banner, so sensible is this flower to the influence of the suns rays.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“The most perfect political community must be amongst those who are in the middle rank, and those states are best instituted wherein these are a larger and more respectable part, if possible, than both the other; or, if that cannot be, at least than either of them separate, so that being thrown into the balance it may prevent either scale from preponderating.”
—Aristotle (384322 B.C.)
